Arriving at Villa Lala feels like stepping into a hidden world crafted by nature and imagination. Designed by renowned local architect Cachi Pérez, this boutique hotel seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, perched high above the charming town of Boca de Tomatlán. Each of the 12 suites offers a mesmerizing ocean vista, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and exclusivity.
The architectural design reflects both functionality and artistry, with rooms nestled within the lush jungle canopy. These "love nests" feature charming domed structures, providing guests with a unique perspective on their natural environment. For those seeking ultimate indulgence, select suites come equipped with private plunge pools or jacuzzis, complemented by cozy hammocks and swings—perfect settings for unwinding under the stars.
Villa Lala’s culinary offerings elevate the dining experience through a harmonious fusion of traditional Mexican flavors and global influences. Guests can savor exquisite dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients at the on-site restaurant, where every meal becomes a celebration of taste and creativity. Alternatively, one may opt for a personalized romantic dinner beside a crackling firepit overlooking the serene sea, fostering moments of connection away from the bustling world.
Beyond gastronomy, the property invites exploration of its lush gardens, which blur the line between cultivated beauty and untamed wilderness. A private dock serves as a gateway to discovering hidden coves along the Costalegre coastline via kayak excursions, allowing adventurers to uncover secluded stretches of sand and crystal-clear waters. This combination of refined amenities and raw natural charm makes Villa Lala an unforgettable destination.
While the allure of Villa Lala lies in its ability to provide serenity, the surrounding area teems with possibilities for active pursuits and memorable encounters. The warm Pacific Ocean waters serve as a playground for marine enthusiasts, particularly during whale-watching season from late November to early April. Observing majestic humpback whales glide gracefully through the bay adds an element of awe to any stay, whether witnessed from the comfort of one's suite or aboard a guided boat tour.
For those inclined toward wellness and rejuvenation, the hotel arranges couples' massages tailored to enhance bonding and relaxation. These sessions take place amidst the tranquil ambiance of the resort, enhancing the sense of peace and harmony. On the other hand, thrill-seekers can embark on guided hikes through the rainforest, culminating in the discovery of pristine beaches such as Colomitos. Additionally, underwater explorers will delight in the vibrant ecosystems found near the Islas Marietas and El Morro reef, showcasing the region's biodiversity through scuba diving and snorkeling adventures.
